Calendar in Outlook now provides a five-day weather forecast with icons next to each day that give a quick look at what to expect. Further, calendar now supports Charms – visual cues that help identify specific types of events more easily, such as an airplane charm, or a fork and knife charm.

Users can create email reminders for any Calendar event by specifying the recipient list, including a quick message, and setting the day and time you want the email reminder to be sent. Further, birthday and holiday calendars can now be viewed separately from a user’s work calendar.

More prominent search command.

Ability to switch between emails without returning to the message list.
